The ancient ruins of Cedrae in the island of Saray, date back to the Hellenistic Roman era. The island took its name from the rumour that Cleopatra swam with the locals in a small bay at the northwest of the island. Furthermore, she was supposed to have entered the sea with Mark Anthony, and the sands were carried from Egypt by Anthony for his love which may be true as this type of sand is only seen in Egypt.
